Victoria Pedretti Reveals She's Engaged to Ethan DeLorenzo: 'I'm Deeply in Love'
Victoria Pedretti and Ethan DeLorenzo are engaged! On Monday, July 21, the You actress, 30, revealed that she and the photographer have taken the next step in their relationship. 'It's no secret I'm deeply in love or that I'm engaged to Ethan. I tell everyone I meet,' she captioned a joint Instagram post with her fiancé. Their upload began with a single, close-up shot of DeLorenzo standing outdoors during a sunset looking toward the camera. The photo that followed was an image of the couple smiling as they hugged, gazing into each other's eyes in a parking lot. Another picture showed their shadows as they spent more time outdoors. Ahead of their engagement news, DeLorenzo posted an Instagram carousel featuring Pedretti to his feed on March 6. 'i'd lay on the cliff side during the apocalypse with you any day… expired polaroid film 💜,' he captioned the two-photo upload, which showed the Haunting of Hill House actress standing outside on a sunny day. DeLorenzo was previously engaged to Jena Malone. He and the Hunger Games: Catching Fire actress, 40, are parents to a son named Ode Mountain. Before their son was born, Malone shared a tribute to DeLorenzo on social media, praising him for the journey ahead. 'Thank you for being the living, breathing definition of a true partner," she wrote at the time. "Your sacrifice and dedication to the ones you love. Your patience and humor. Your warm heart. Your (sic) the best man I've ever met and I can't wait to watch you become what you were destined to become, an amazing father.' Pedretti previously sparked romance rumors with her You costar Dylan Arnold. The pair played Love Quinn and Theo Engler, respectively, on the hit Netflix thriller series. Their characters entered into a dangerously flirty relationship with each other in season 3. When photos of Pedretti and Arnold, now 31, hanging out together surfaced online in November 2021, reps for the stars did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. In March 2023, Netflix announced that the hit series was renewed for a fifth and final season.

While Pedretti's character did not return for the final installment, she told E! News in 2021 that the show's antagonist Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) was likely Love Quinn's "soulmate." "I do see them as soulmates," Pedretti said. "I think that they're uniquely capable of fulfilling each other's weaknesses, and their strengths are really there to support and uphold each other." All 5 seasons of You are now streaming on Netflix. Read the original article on People

Former Spartan Jase Richardson back around program following strong NBA Summer League
The culture at Michigan State basketball is simply different, and former Spartans star Jase Richardson further proved that in the past few days. Richardson just finished up an impressive showing in his first career professional action during the NBA Summer League so what's next for him? Maybe a tropical trip or some other destination before preparing for his rookie season in the NBA? Nope, he's right back at Michigan State. Richardson posted an Instagram picture on Sunday showing he was back at the Spartans' practice facility with a simple comment about his return to East Lansing, Mich. -- "always home." You can see the post from Richardson below: Richardson starred for the Spartans in his lone year of college hoops this past season. As a true freshman, Richardson became the Spartans' top player and helped lead them to a Big Ten title and Elite Eight finish in the NCAA Tournament. That strong play resulted in him being selected by the Orlando Magic in the first round of the NBA Draft last month. Former players and those close to the program always talk about how the culture at Michigan State is different from many other places. This is just another example of how head coach Tom Izzo and others around the Spartans' program always make it a place where former players want to come back to and visit.
